'Female Orgasm' comes to campus

Brown University's sexual education programs, "Bisexual, Heteroflexible, or No Label at All" and "Let's Talk About Sex: The Female Orgasm" comes to UTC April 12 and 13.
"We have a tendency here on campus to be very structured in what we say and what we don't," Carol Oglesby, coordinator of student civic engagement and physical health education said. "These folks from Brown University speak the way the students do and they talk about everything from the female orgasm to a male erection, to how you entertain your significant other sexually. And these are things we haven't ever been able to talk about on this campus."
Oglesby said the presenters of the program, Dorian Solot and Marshall Miller, are both sex psychologists with degrees from Brown University. She said they have performed this humorous and educational program at more than 450 universities in the last seven years.
"It's not your everyday sex education," Oglesby said. "Not only are these guys sexual psychologists, they are comedians."
Oglesby said she has gotten great reviews from other universities. She said she called the University of Oklahoma, University of North Carolina and the University of South Carolina. Oglesby said representatives from those universities said students came out in droves to the program.
"It's very open," Oglesby said. "If you're going to come to the show, be open and ready to hear anything. You can say whatever you like. Nothing is off limits. They certainly use language that students are used to hearing on a regular basis."
Oglesby said Monday night's program in the Multicultural Center, "Bisexual, Heteroflexible, No Label at All," will focus primarily on the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Questioning community, but both programs will include discussion of all aspects of human sexuality.
"There seems to be an atmosphere on this campus that being open sexually is not appropriate or there are women and men who hide behind their sexuality," Oglesby said. "They don't come out in the open with who they are. And if you aren't able to discuss your sexuality in an open manner with someone, then you've probably got a lot of questions that need to be answered."

I find this to be apalling. Why is it that the same people who insist we be "open-minded" to their deviant ideas about sexuality are so CLOSED-minded to God's prescribed plan? This is nothing less than the promotion of moral debauchery! We all know that many young people choose to engage in high risk behavior. (Continued…)
